Now, if you can, imagine a waterfall four times as wide and almost twice as tall that caused Eleanor Roosevelt to exclaim Poor Niagara! upon seeing it for the first time. Welcome to las cataratas del Iguazú! Iguazú is located in Iguazú National Park, an area of subtropical jungle where Argentina meets Brazil. Its name comes from the indigenous Guaraní word for "great water." A UNESCO World Heritage Site, las cataratas del Iguazú span three kilometers and are comprised of 275 cascades split into two main sections by the San Martín Island. Most of the falls are about 82 meters (270 feet) high. The horseshoe-shaped cataract Garganta del Diablo (Devil's Throat) has the greatest water flow and is considered to be the most impressive; it also marks the border between Argentina and Brazil. Each country offers different views and tourist options. Most visitors opt to use the numerous catwalks that are available on both Más cascadas en Latinoamérica Nombre País Altura Datos Salto Ángel Venezuela 979 metros la más alta del mundo Catarata Perú 771 metros descubierta en 2006 del Gocta Garganta del Diablo Isla San Martín sides; however, from the Argentinean side, tourists can get very close to the falls, whereas Brazil provides more panoramic views. If you don t mind getting wet, a jet boat tour is a good choice; those looking for wildlife such as toucans, ocelots, butterflies, and jaguars should head for San Martín Island. Brazil boasts less conventional ways to view the falls, such as helicopter rides and rappelling, while Argentina focuses on sustainability with its Tren Ecológico de la Selva (Ecological Jungle Train), an environmentally friendly way to reach the walkways. No matter which way you choose to enjoy the falls, you are certain to be captivated.

Its peninsular shape gives it two very different seascapes. La Playa Mansa, facing the bay and therefore the more protected side, has calm waters. Here, people practice water sports like swimming, water skiing, windsurfing, and diving. La Playa Brava, facing the east, receives the Atlantic Ocean s powerful, wave-producing winds, making it popular for surfing, body boarding, and kite surfing. Besides the beaches, posh shopping, and world-famous nightlife, Punta offers its 600,000 yearly visitors yacht and fishing clubs, golf courses, and excursions to observe sea lions at the Isla de Lobos nature reserve.
